The best Swedish cars of all time: From stale models to very attractive ones

The sweet ride of changing Swedish cars in terms of looks and power inside

Sweden is home to more than ten million inhabitants and although it does not have such a large territory, it is known worldwide for the level and quality of automobile production, Telegrafi reports.

It is known for three very famous world models, such as the defunct Saab, the recently resurgent Volvo and the highly desirable Koenigsegg hypercar. This country is also well known for the production of large cars such as Scania AB and Volvo AB.


The result of work, quality, as well as economic prices, has made 85 percent of passenger cars and 95 percent of large transport vehicles exported worldwide. The combination of Swedish car culture and the cold Swedish weather have inspired some of the best models to come from this country.

While they have not always been so good, some of these models, from stale to very attractive, that have been produced over time, have been selected.

Volvo 240 Estate

Although it looked stale, this car was in production for more than 20 years, until it proved that Volvo makes cars that have very high safety. It is not by chance at the top of the list, because it is a car that became a symbol of the family car of the time, despite its bad looks.

Saab 900 Turbo

It was among the most sought-after cars from 1978 until 1998, when it was finally discontinued. The arrival of new cars with much higher technology have caused Saab to cease to exist.

Volvo P1800

For a long time, Volvo has not been known for good looking models, but with investment in new designers, in 1963 the P1800 was created which looked very nice. It was even said, as part of an advertisement, that it is like a Swedish Ferrari.

Saab 92

This model was the first that Saab took out of production, while it had looks inspired by aeronautical equipment. The 92 model was available in only one color, while it was more in demand for families.

Saab sonnet

Volvo was not the only manufacturer to bring a beautiful car, as Saab followed suit, creating a model like the Sonett, which was also dedicated to racing. It was planned to be built in 2,000 units, but no more than six have been produced, making it an extremely rare model.

Saab 96

The World Rally Championship was the event in which the Saab 96 took part, putting this model on the world car map. Since then, the demand for this model was unstoppable.

Volvo 850 T5 / T-5R / R

No one seemed to need a Volvo, until the 850 model was introduced in three versions, as T5, T-5R and R, which raised the demand to a very high level. With the 243 horsepower engine from Porsche and Pirrelli wheels, this model became very sought after in the market.

Saab 9-5 Aero

It was the time when cars started to get more powerful, and Saab was no exception with the 9-5 Aero model, which could produce up to 260 horsepower. Much higher capacity than some rival cars.

Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar

These modern cars are very popular because of their good looks and affordable prices. The ability to go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.5 seconds made them very attractive to buyers.

Koenigsegg Agera RS

Supercar enthusiasts have considered the Koenigsegg Agera RS to be the cream of the crop. The speed from zero to 400 kilometers per hour and the return to zero again, this car can reach in 33.29 seconds. Another record of this Swedish car is the speed of up to 447 kilometers per hour, which makes it a very good supercar. /Telegraph/
